It is requested that all surface vessels remain at least 2 nautical miles from Test Vessels working in these areas as they are likely to be under restricted maneuverability towing conditions during test events. PSC-12, or other suitable alternative platform will be on station in these areas during test events scheduled at a frequency of approximately 5-days a week. All concerned traffic should contact the support vessel on VHF-FM Channel 16, heed all instructions given and stay a minimum of 2 nautical miles from vessels on station in any of these operational areas. Additionally, it is requested that all trawler operations within 2 nautical miles of the OP AREA positions given, be avoided at all times as U.S. Navy equipment has been deployed in these areas and will remain in these areas through the duration of the test events.
